Amazing Photos

They call these things ‘hoodoos’ out in NM.

A drive most people don't know exists.

Every evening, at airports across the world, the light, and signage, inspection takes place, between takeoff's, and landings. There is a lot to take in, and later file an official report on. One needs to look at every runway light, taxiway light, lighted directional sign, and painted stripe, all while being on the lookout for Foreign Object Debris (FOD), at speeds from 40-100 MPH, depending on how much time the Air Traffic Control Tower, gives you.

I love my job.

Love it! Please share more, or even start your own thread. I went way far down the 9/11 ATC recordings rabbit hole and have a rather new interest in aviation.

Ever seen the inside of an "Empty" 747?

With the seats, galley's, overhead bins, wall panels, and carpeting removed, the "Queen of The Skies" looks quite different. To the left is the stairway to the upper deck, and cockpit. To the upper rear (in front of the aft pressure bulkhead) are crew rest bunks.
